- [Voiceover] So in this movie,…continuing with our pool table,…we need to provide something to support the playing surface,…so this table will need some sort of legs,…and to do that, we're going to create another 3D solid form.…Now, we could use really any of the forms…on the forms panel here to create legs for our pool table,…but in this example, I want to do something…a little different than what we've done previously,…so let's look at the blend tool for creating the legs.…So I'm going to work here in the plan view initially,…and let me just sort of stretch that view out a little bit…so that I can zoom in a little closer,…and we're going to repeat all the same essential steps…we've already done, so we're going to some reference planes,…then we're going to constrain those reference planes,…and then we'll create the geometry.…

So on the datum panel,…we're going to click our reference plane button,…or "RP" is the shortcut.…I always make my reference planes…a little bit longer than they need to be.…You'll see in a moment why that is,…

Learn the basics of using Revit 2018 for architectural design. This course is designed for students who have no prior Revit experience and want to work in imperial units (inches and feet). It is a beginner's course that approaches Revit from the ground up. Fundamentals and good work habits are emphasized every step of the way.

First, get comfortable with the Revit environment, and learn to set up a project and add the grids, levels, and dimensions that will anchor your design. Then author Paul F. Aubin helps you dive into modeling: adding walls, doors, and windows; using joins and constraints; creating and mirroring groups; linking to external assets and DWG files; and modeling floors, roofs, and ceilings.

Paul also shows advanced techniques for modeling stairs and complex walls, adding rooms, and creating schedules. Finally, discover how to annotate your drawings so all the components are clearly understood, and learn how to output sheets to DWF, PDF, or AutoCAD.
